You asked multiple questions, so let me answer them one by one: 1) 'Which Kill Team rules are the actual Kill Team rules?' Answer: The ones you linked at Black Library. Those are the official rules, updated from the 6th Edition hard-cover core rulebook, which was updated from the 4th Edition Kill Team mission. I personally think this edition of the Kill Team rules is AMAZING, and it has worked great for my gaming group for a while now. As people have stated however, they are not free. 2) 'Which one is the most widely used?' Answer: I don't think there's really a way to know for sure, but I do hear a LOT of positive things about the Heralds of Ruin Kill Team rules (these ARE free).

It seems like a lot of people here prefer them. Bear in mind though that it is an extreme homebrew as they modify stats, points, and model availability to make their own sort of mini-codexes to pick and choose your Kill Team models out of.

Personally I try not to use a whole lot of homebrew stuff but again it has gotten a ton of positive press. I like using the printed stats and rules for Kill Team stuff and so I use the codexes as they stand, plus the Kill Team rules from Black Library. 3) 'Also what is Combat Patrol I see at Adepticon?' , you can read about it in the back of the 4th Edition hard-cover rulebook, or maybe it's the 5th edition one. It's in one of those (the original one that is). Anyways, all it is is 400 points (which was updated to 500 points in I think 6th Edition's lazy reprint) with the following Force Org:. 0-1 HQ.

1-6 Troops. 0-1 Elite. 0-1 Fast Attack. 0-1 Heavy Support.

My Universities gaming club used the Heralds of Ruin one. It was overall fun, but rather unbalanced by the time the campaigns gain momentum. Once someone got in the lead they stayed in the lead by buying upgrades to the base, more units, etc.

Games went by quick and were somewhat strategic in the missions. I personally played a squad of Stormboyz with a stormboy nob (who was able to have three wounds, a power klaw, and heavy armour from the very start). First thing I did was buy a turret for the next game.

From then on it was an undefeated streak after six weeks and everyone got tired of things. I've noticed that the original Kill Team rules from 4th edition rulebook and the 'Kill Team Event' rules from Warhammer World are harder to track down. Personally, I like the Warhammer World variant, mostly because the special abilities are not as retrictive I play a Tau Kill Team and the Black Library rules practically force you to make your commander and special characters into Close Combat fighters, as most of the special skills are CC or 'issue challenge' related. PM me, I'll see if I can dig up the PDF I downloaded from GW, back when it was a free download. From what I've seen, I think everyone either does HoR, or a modified/house rules version of the official Kill Team.

We just play normal rules, but with units split up (as per the real kill team rules), and we modify the Necron RP nerf a bit. (Basically, instead of markers or whatever they specify, which is old-style reanimation, we do current style FNP reanimation, but keep the 'only if within n inches of another unit' stipulation). We usually don't do the warlord/special trait bullshit. It's too hard to keep track of.

We play kill team to run 30-45 minute games, not have to keep track of bullshit and drag it out to an hour and a half. I also just run nine tomb blades, so the game is usually over by turn 3 or 4.:D.
